About this title

Review:

'Seyyed Hossein Nasr dominates his subject ... he unites in his person an Islamic structure which encompassed two points of view: that of religious law and contemplation, and a supreme knowledge of modern scientific methods.' From the Preface by Titus Burckhardt.

From the Back Cover:

In a time of increased yet mainly critical interest in Islam this book, which was written by one of the world's leading scholars of Islamic culture, addresses interested Western readers as well as Muslims who have received a Western education.

While the book is an attempt to give a contemporary answer to the critics of Islam, it is also firmly grounded in the Muslim tradition and it seeks to convey the truth of Islam as revealed in the Qu'ran and followed by generations of devoted Muslims.

'It is to be hoped that this admirable book will have the wide reading it deserves, in the East as well as the West.'
ISLAMIC QUARTERLY

'A unique and simple book within the tradition. It certainly merits attentive reading and digestion.'
